Thanks, In that case I'll simply put up with restarting the sync as needed.
I'm doing this as I switch from offlineimap to mbsync and I wondered, is
there any danger in sycing one machine to my gmail server using
offlineimap, and a second machine to the same gmail server using mbsync? I
presume not but wanted to check.
Cheers,
Ben
